At ScorePlay, we offer sophisticated storage solutions that cater to the unique needs of sports organizations. While most of us are familiar with on-premises and cloud storage, understanding their specific benefits and drawbacks can help you make an informed decision about your data management strategy.
On-Premises Storage
What is On-Premises Storage?
On-premises storage involves keeping your digital data on physical devices located within your organization's facilities. For ScorePlay users, this means managing data on servers housed on-site, from small office setups to extensive server racks networked together using NAS (Network Attached Storage).
Benefits
Control and Security: Complete control over your data, allowing for tailored security protocols and a tangible sense of data safety.
Performance and Speed: Faster data access, particularly for bandwidth-intensive tasks like video editing, especially with unreliable internet connections.
Customization and Compliance: Flexibility to customize IT infrastructure to meet specific needs and regulatory requirements.
Offline Access: Uninterrupted access to critical data, even without internet connectivity.
Drawbacks
Cost: High initial and ongoing costs for hardware, software, and maintenance, including electricity and cooling.
Scalability Challenges: Expensive and complex to scale as data needs grow, requiring proactive investment in additional capacity.
Maintenance Burden: Continuous management and routine maintenance are needed, which can strain IT resources.
Disaster Recovery: Requires robust disaster recovery plans to mitigate risks from physical damage.
